Moreover, 'normal' modifier keys are benign if pressed on their own; you can safely press and release shift without anything happening. If the Windows key behaved like that it wouldn't be so bad, since many accidental presses would have no effect -- rather than the actual behaviour of activating a menu you didn't want at that point, changing the focus. > Most damning is I had no idea any of those existed. And why should I? Once you've learnt that the Windows key brings up the start menu, why on earth would it occur to you that it _also_ functions as a modifier key? Hateful. Smylers
